It's becoming clear to me that hair has, well, legs. Two more of the essays in our upcoming anthology have recently been published in advance of the Sept. 29 pub date. You can read Marita Golden's searing essay, "My Black Hair," on Quartz, under the title "My Black Hair: A Tangled Story of Race and Politics in America," by clicking HERE. And you can read Alex Kuczynski's (kind of naughty) piece on the hair that's usually hidden, in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar, under the title "To Ladyscape or Not." Trust me: You'll love the photo that runs with the piece. And love the piece. Which you can read by clicking RIGHT HERE.
